I think the provocative header is bringing out kneejerk reactions that don't actually go with OP.

I think the comparison to indoor soccer works. Another comparison would be street basketball. I could see 3 on 3 hockey becoming it's own sport much in the same way. Neither basketball or soccer have suffered in any way from those variation sports.

I can't see 3 on 3 becoming more popular than 5 on 5 hockey, but sometimes gimmicky is what you want. Some outdoor event could for example have a one-day tournament with 10 minute games and smaller ice. Could be a lot of fun.
